Research Data Management

Research Data Management (RDM) is the process of collecting, organising, storing, sharing and preserving research data throughout the lifecycle of a research project. Data management practices are applied using a number of mechanisms including the use of Institutional Research Data Repositories, developing Data Management Plans (DMPs) and the application of the F.A.I.R. principles of research data.

The secure storage, archiving and sharing of research data has become a mandatory requirement by institutions, funders and publishers. UWC research data sets and associated documents may be stored securely and shared via the UWC data repositories. To find out more consult the Guide to Research Data Management.
